Microsoft Windows XP bundles the "Remote NDIS" (RNDIS) protocol, and Microsoft provides redistributable binary RNDIS drivers for older versions of Windows.

If you say "y" here, the Ethernet gadget driver will try to provide a second device configuration, supporting RNDIS to talk to such Microsoft USB hosts.

To make MS-Windows work with this, use Documentation/usb/linux.inf as the "driver info file". For versions of MS-Windows older than XP, you'll need to download drivers from Microsoft's website; a URL is given in comments found in that info file.
